The Maximus Vaccarino
Fund For The Arts
Maximus was an amazing boy with a beautiful, unrestrained, creative mind. From the beginning, he was drawn to build, paint, sculpt, sketch, and simply manifest whatever came to him. It showed its face in everything, from the poems he wrote to the canvases he stretched, and even extended its way into the kitchen in the way that he baked. His talent was only surpassed by the wondrous imagination that fed it. Art provided Max with a way to express himself fully and freely. It was a way in which he could connect and share everything that he was feeling and thinking. It was a source of energy and strength for him. Maximus loved to share his creations, but some things he simply made for himself. We would find them in closets, under beds, or tucked away in drawers. To see what he would come up with never failed to bring us pleasure, but to witness the joy and satisfaction it brought to him, was the true gift.
The Fund For The Arts
Our hope for The Maximus Vaccarino Fund for the Arts is to ensure that more children in our local community have the opportunity to harness the same power and joy that Max found in creativity.
We are incredibly grateful to all who have contributed thus far, and we look forward to creating a lasting impact on the children in our communities, through the arts, for years to come.

Leave a memory
Maximus was special. We continue to hear stories from so many whose lives he touched in his all-too-short life. We miss him terribly but are comforted by the thought that through his fund, we can help other children in our community access that same passion for the arts that Max had found. In that way, he will continue to impact and enrich the lives of others. Something we know would be sure to bring a smile to his face. If you have a memory of Maximus, please send us a message. We would love to hear from you.
